Conventional MRI has insufficient sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing trigeminal nerve root entry zone impingement with confidence. While emerging imaging techniques are visualizing ...

Cerebral angiography revealed a left tentorial DAVF and the MR imaging demonstrated a variceal venous dilatation occupying the left lateral pontine cistern and multiple venous flow voids adjacent to ...

The correlation between trigeminal nerve-root section and the appearance of vesicles is shown in Table 1, which summarizes data relative to operative procedure, postoperative herpes and virus and ...

The linear lesions extended along the trigeminal nerve, from the root entry zone (REZ) (57.8%, 26/45) to the pontine-medullary nucleus (42.2%, 19/45). 26.9% (7/26) of the lesions in REZ showed a ...

Using superimposed CT cisternogram and MR images, the target segment of the trigeminal nerve was consistently defined as a 6 mm length of nerve approximately 2–3 mm distal to the dorsal root entry ...

Trigeminal Neuralgia is ... a trigger zone is present, and patients have brief but extremely intense attacks with intervals of no pain. Furthermore, the cause remains unclear, although, in many ...

The patient instead underwent a gamma knife procedure where a regular radiation dose (20 Gy) was applied to the AVM nidus, and a higher TN dose (85 Gy) was applied to the trigeminal nerve root entry ...
